Virtual PC Explorer Integration on Windows 7

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Vista to Win 7. During that process I had to
uninstall Virtual Server which from what I understand is not supported on Win
7(?), so I decided to try Virtual PC, which I installed according to
instructions on http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx.

When I wanted to create a virtual machine, I could not find the button in
the Virtual Machines explorer window.

I read in some forum that I should have turned on BIOS support for
virtualization before I made the installation. Too late for that, but I
turned it on afterwards instead.

Now for the question:
Is there any way to get the Virtual PC Explorer shell integration to work?

Thanks in advance!
